Reading through H.G. Wells’ sci-fi classic, with extra tomfoolery. This week we’re reading from Chapter 1 of Part 2, Under Foot, to the start of Chapter 7, The Man on Putney Hill, and we’ve got tension! Tension! Tension! And a Roomba from outer space!

Who could ask for more? Next week we’re going to the end of the book, and Dave will be getting a first listen to Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, so hit us up with your reviews of the book and your thoughts on the movies, music and other interpretations of the story that you’ve seen. We’re on Twitter @sharkliveroil, and via email at sharkliveroilpodcast@gmail.com.
